Responding to the ongoing climate emergency requires shared leadership between businesses, community organizations, government, and residents. • Injustices have the same root cause. Exploiting people and nature causes environmental injustice, racial injustice, and climate disruption. • Governments are accountable for injustice. The City of Fort Collins, and other governments, have an obligation to help correct past and ongoing harms by investing in the most impacted communities. • People know what they need. The most impacted people are best able to define successful solutions. OCF listens to and trusts what they say is needed. • Equitable solutions are best. Solutions to limit and respond to climate disruption should also address equity and fairness. The OCF Guiding Principles provide a foundation for Our Climate Future, with people at the center. 49 49 Our Climate Future: Goals Status Fof ort Collins Where are we going?
